en out all day playing in the garden, and seemed quite glad when it
was time for him to go to bed, so we will let him sleep a little longer.
This will do him more good just now than being out in the hot sun.

DOLLY'S PARTY.

This is dolly's party. The two little girls have been invited to tea with
her, and they have each brought their dolls with them. I hope it will be
a pleasant party, though of course our two little friends must do all the
talking, as Miss Dolly, though she sits there in such state, cannot speak

be quite well in a day or two if she is kept quiet. I am sure Mary will
attend to this, as she is very anxious about her doll, and would be sorry
to lose her.

Well done, well done, thoughtful Jane,
At your morning work again,
Feeding thus with grain and crumbs
Every hungry bird that comes:
Well they know you, I can see,

HELPING MOTHER.

Well done, Emma! Dinner is just over, and Emma is folding up the cloth,

WHAT'S IN THE CUPBOARD?

Mama has just caught the children prying into the cupboard. She wil
